This research uses randomized complete block design by one factor, which is 8 levels of fertilizer dose and repetition 4 times. As for the following treatment: P1 = 100% KNO3 recommendation, P2 = 100% Goat Manure recommendation, P3 = 100% KNO3 + 15 tons/ha goat manure, P4 = 100% KNO3 + 30 tons/ha goat manure, P5 = 75% KNO3 + 15 ton/ha goat manure, P6 = 75% KNO3 + 30 tons/ha goat manure, P7 = 50% KNO3 + 15 ton/ha goat manure, P8 = 50% KNO3 + 30 ton/ha goat manure.The results showed a combination of KNO3 and goat manure that affected the number of productive branches, buns and flower petals, and did not affect the lateral branches formed.  75% KNO3 + 30 tons/ha goat manure treatment provides the best influence on the number of productive branches (12.123), bunching of Flowers (27.973), and Flowers (5.630).
